PS
Maisy helps Mommy Hen track down her ten chicks in time for bed. They make their way around the farm ("Are there any chicks in the trailer?"), picking up the little ones as they go. By book's end, everyone is accounted for. Large pages, friendly illustrations, plentiful white space, engaging flaps, clearly labeled numerals, and a very simple story line all play nicely together.
